Arcadia High School students joined Jamie Oliver on the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica in a recent taping for season two of “Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution.”

Arcadia students competed against chefs from other high schools in a battle of culinary wits.

Students were given the ingredients: chicken breast, frozen vegetables, pasta and the secret ingredient – avocado – to create a palate-pleasing dish. Students had 15 minutes to plan their meal and 30 minutes to cook it.

Arcadia High School’s band and cheerleaders were at the event to cheer on their student chefs.

“Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution” is a television series that aims to promote awareness in communities and youth about leading healthier lives, starting with what kids eat in schools. The show seeks to change cafeteria menus from processed, greasy foods, to nutritious meals with fresh ingredients.

“This food revolution is about saving America’s health by changing the way you eat. It’s not just a TV show, it’s a movement for you, your family and your community,” Oliver writes on his website.

The reality show’s first season was filmed in West Virginia. Season two will bring Oliver’s food revolution to Los Angeles.

Arcadia High School competed against Temple City, San Gabriel, Rowland and El Rancho high schools.
